> Hi. My Dr put me on Lexapro because of a depressed episode that started about six weeks prior. I had been doing really good and was pretty upset with myself for having no motivation and sleeping a lot to escape the world. I've been on mood stabilizers for a while now but haven't been taking any anti-depressants for some time. It seemed too much of a coincidence but the day after I started taking (10mg)Lexapro, I started feeling hyperactive and actually really good. I saw my Dr. yesterday after taking the Lexapro for two weeks and had to admit I hadn't had a bad day since I started this med. I don't have any problems going to sleep at night because I just take my seroquil. I do find myself staying up much later, not taking naps during the day anymore, and rambling more than usual. I read on some other message boards from people talking about Lexapro side-effects that this was a horrible med but quite frankly, I haven't experienced any of the negative effects they were talking about except for difficulty ejaculating.
For some odd reason, I almost feel guilty for feeling so good and I'm a little concerned that this feeling will go away sooner or later. This is the first time it appears that a med is making a significant difference in the way I feel. I have to ask myself: "is this real or am I just really crazy?"

Hi, welcome to the board. Don't worry about whether or not you're crazy ... we all are. It's fun. Anyway, just enjoy your time on earth as best you can. I hope you have more good days ahead.
